Manhattan Transfer - The Further Adventures Of Tubby The Tuba Lyrics
Tubby misbehaves at rehearsal, and the conductor tells him to leave. defiant, tubby joins a marching band. its fun at first, but all the marching finally wears him out. he cant even oom-pah an, and he longs to get back to the orchestra. tubby escapes and runs home once again where he finds that all his friends missed him, too! tubby realizes he belongs in the orchestra, and it makesEry happy.Tubby (tim hauser)I want to be seen,I want to be heard;My dream has always beenTo sing like a bird.Why cant I beContent to just be me?Why cant I beJust the best that I can be?I dont like to see meFeeling so unhappy;I would much rather see meVery, very happy.Tubby (tim hauser)Oh, the duty of a tubaWhen the others sing, tra-la,Is to sound just like a tubaAnd say, oom-pah.But when youve got to march all day,Not only march, but also play,You start to lose your breath and huff,And instead of oom-pah,All you say is puff,puff, puff.Im a very sad tubacause Ive lost my oom-pahNothings left for me to do nowBut go, puffpuffpuff
